Brian
Rohrbough is the father of one of the victims at Columbine. In an
interview I conducted with him for my talk show Live Fire, my listeners
were informed of the continuing lawsuits pursued by Rohrbough to
pry the information from the authorities who have engaged in a massive
cover-up.

The killers were well-known to
the school and the police as very dangerous characters. After stealing
equipment from a van, they were reported to have made death threats
against a student. The Sheriff denied that any such report had been
made, but unhappily for the Sheriff, the father had kept a copy
of the report on the official form used for that purpose.

Rohrbough said that other death
threats had been made, as well. The police had recovered from the
killers pipe bombs which had been reported to them.

A year before Columbine, a search
warrant was drawn up to search the house of the killers but was
never executed. For two years the Sheriff's department denied that
there had been a warrant. It has now been revealed in court that
the cops were lying. Rohrbough suspects that one of the killers'
parents was close to someone in the Sheriff's department.

One of the killers was being
medicated on a psychotropic drug. There is a line at many of the
county schools in the cafeteria where the drugs are handed out.
The schools get $1000 per year from the federal government for handing
out the drugs that the parents pay for.

The Sheriff's department covered
up the records of the juvenile diversion program that the killers
had attended. The parents had described in documents for the program
that the kids were angry. One of the killers answered questions
on a form saying that he wanted to kill someone, wanted to kill
himself and hurt as many people as possible. They wrote essays in
a creative writing class where they described the joys of murdering
innocent people. The only negative comment by the teacher who graded
the paper was that you should not swear at people before murdering
them.

In a class they produced a video
depicting the blowing up of the school. The killers had been on
the internet bragging about the bombs they built. They even put
their names on the bombs.

Other video tapes were made by
the killers bragging that they wanted to kill as many people as
possible. They had a hit list, but that has not been released yet
-- although Rohrbough is trying to get it in produced in court.

The school authorities reported
concerns about the killers to the Sheriff department's school resource
officer. The officer denied that he was ever told that information.
This is one of the many lies that Rohrbough has uncovered in the
over 30,000 pages of documents he has gotten out of the clutches
of the authorities.

Rohrbough accuses the police
of having been cowards. Most of the officers he hastens to add wanted
to go in, but the first officers on the scene became cowards. They
had a gun fight with the killers and ran to hide behind their cars
instead of running into the school. Their cowardice soon became
the orders from above, ultimately from the Sheriff himself.

There was about seven minutes
before the killers killed anyone inside the school (two had been
killed outside, including Rohrbough's son). Obviously, if the officers
had gone into the building immediately, there is a great likelihood
that many lives could have been saved.

It is now known that the police
waited for three hours after they knew the killers were dead before
they finally entered the building. This was the time during which
a teacher bled to death in plain sight of the world.

Rohrbough has alleged that the
county lied about 28 material facts. When he presented this in a
case against the county, the judge said that the government is immune
from criminal penalties when it lies. The county's defense, when
they were caught lying, was to hide behind the doctrine of sovereign
immunity which protects bureaucrats from liability for their misdeeds.
As a result, they actually argued in court that they were not responsible
for protecting the victims or the dying teacher.

As a result, Rohrbough's litigation
has focused on freedom of information suits to obtain the documents
which have exposed the government's lies.

The Governor's commission to
investigate Columbine was on the verge of issuing a report saying
that everyone in authority had done all they could when Rohrbough
dug up the non-executed search warrant. The commission never did
hammer the police for allowing two killers to roam the halls while
the cops cowered outside.

The commission recommended two
improvements. One was to improve communication technology between
police departments and the Sheriff's office in the county. But Rohrbough
has learned that the difficulty was solved almost instantly. The
other recommendation was that troubled students not go to their
diversion programs in the same car. That was all the commission
could come up with!

Rohrbough lamented that there
were no teachers or other adults with a concealed firearm in the
school. He pointed to the case of Israel where teachers have been
encouraged to arm themselves. Certainly, if the police are going
to insist that they have no responsibility to protect victims from
criminals, then it is unconscionable for the police and politicians
to oppose people protecting themselves, including legalizing firearms
for self defense in schools.

Rohrbough is of the opinion that
the killers' accomplice who legally bought the guns for the killers
had advance knowledge of the crime. According to her, she told the
killers when she gave them the guns, "You're not going to do anything
stupid, are you?" She was not prosecuted for transferring firearms
to persons ineligible to own them. Rohrbough suspects that she was
not prosecuted because she played the politically correct game of
testifying that if there had been a gun show background check she
never would have bought the guns.

One good thing that has resulted
from the revelations of official misconduct was the defeat of the
Sheriff in the next election.
